OK, ladies, thank you for your input! You helped a lot! What I wound up doing was a white 1-1/2" border, then a 1/2' red plaid, then a 6" border of my favorite print from the quilt, the large red floral on white. Then when I'm done quilting I'll bind it with one of the red prints from the quilt. Here's what it looks lilke (sorry the last photo is so fuzzy):
